Animal Welfare in Australia

Month: February 2008

“I would love to call on your help to assist with the Greyhound issue ie. approx. 22,000 bred each year for racing & it is estimated that around 15,000 are destroyed each year. Thousands upon thousands of beautiful healthy dogs killed for no other reason than they are surplus to racing industry requirements.”

Another terrible tragedy happening on our doorstep. These wonderful dogs do not even have to be registered, so who knows where they end up. Again legislation is letting these animals down.
This article is called ‘Hope on the Horizon for Greyhounds’ and tells you what’s happening in the UK, maybe we can get this sort of action happening here?

This blog….

.....provides information and developments related to progress in creating change in companion animal welfare in Australia. We are not about reinventing the wheel, and so where others have already communicated a story, we will link to their site, and say 'thank you' in advance!
Please feel free to comment; but we will remove any comment that breaches the commonly accepted standards of civil communication!
